She Left Her Body at 15: Laura Hoorweg on Grief, Mediumship, and the Other Side Episode Description
What happens when your Consciousness leaves your body, but you are still fully aware of who you are?
At 15 years old, Laura Hoorweg was standing near the edge of a cliff in the Canadian wilderness when she says she suddenly found herself looking down at her own body. Moments later, she was above the Earth, then surrounded by galaxies, before being abruptly pulled back into her physical body.
That experience changed the way she understood death, consciousness, and the human soul.
In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Laura, a spiritual counselor, intuitive coach, psychic, and medium who helps people navigate grief, Trauma, Burnout, major life transitions, and the patterns that can leave them feeling disconnected from themselves.
Laura shares how leaving a 30-year corporate career and suddenly losing her partner led to an intense period of grief and spiritual searching. Her healing journey took her through Brazil, an ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon, Yoga training in Costa Rica, and a deeply personal trip to Hawaii to scatter her partner’s ashes.
Stephanie and Laura explore what a medium does, how mediumship differs from psychic work, why some people appear to wait until loved ones leave the room before passing, and how messages from those who have died may help people work through guilt, regret, and unfinished Emotions.
They also discuss intuition, Meditation, synchronicities, fear, discernment, astral Travel, remote viewing, and what Laura calls “Schoolhouse Earth,” the belief that life’s challenges give the soul an opportunity to grow.
This is a conversation about grief, the mystery of consciousness, and the question that follows so many life-changing experiences: Are we more than our physical bodies?
The experiences and spiritual beliefs discussed in this episode belong to the guest and are shared for reflection and conversation. This episode is not a substitute for medical, Mental Health, grief, or spiritual care. Ayahuasca and other psychoactive substances can carry serious physical and psychological risks, and their legal status varies by location.
